I love being in the studio.over the past two weeks, I have been waking with a burning desire to be in the studio and pick up right where I left the day before. each morning, I find myself anxious to see how the paint from yesterday dried & add more layers to the canvases filling my studio loft.I love it. these days I am reworking & in most cases totally transforming paintings I did when I first started painting. it's a stewardship & necessity thing, but it is also a need for that early work to bear the markings of this new season of life & growth for me. one nice surprise has been seeing the markings I considered mistakes or total bombs the first go round, be the very things that help to create just the right textures & foundations for what is being created now.
